It supports multiple dialects and is still a partly closed source language. The X# front-end framework is used to design web applications and websites, including HTML allowed in buttons, forms, typography, navigation etc. History of X# In 2015, Vulcan.NET team developers started the X-sharp compiler development after the Grafx development team started a new open source project to give XBase for new features of .NET.
